Patient's question:
My mother has had hyperthyroidism for about 10 years. Taking methimazole tablets T3T4 keeps it normal, but it drops if she doesn't take them. Can it be cured? Can it be taken for important conditioning?Doctor's answer:
This is a case of hyperthyroidism, which is an autoimmune disease of the thyroid. The treatment with methimazole tablets was not complete, and the treatment plan should be adjusted again. There are three treatment options for hyperthyroidism, such as methimazole tablets, iodine-131, and surgery. If the drug treatment with methimazole tablets is not sufficient, iodine-131 treatment can be used. The main side effect of iodine treatment is hypothyroidism. If you do not want iodine treatment, you can take methimazole tablets long-term to maintain the treatment. Follow a low-iodine diet and avoid seafood. The patient is directly facing the harm of gynecological diseases, and we should actively adopt treatment measures and not avoid seeking medical attention. If gynecological diseases are not cured after prolonged treatment, the treatment plan should be changed promptly.
